I am an expert at helping people change negative emotions, ineffective behaviors,and negative thoughts that interfere with making necessary changes to promote mental and physical wellbeing. My niche is helping people who have been diagnosed with Celiac disease, food allergies, sensitivities, and/or intolerances with the social, emotional, and behavioral aspects of changing their entire lifestyle around food. As a person living with Celiac disease, I understand that changing your diet requires much more than knowing what to eat and what to avoid. I help people look beyond food to help manage social anxiety and to learn effective communication skills for getting their needs met in relationships, at restaurants, and in a variety of other settings. I also help people to grieve the loss of once loved foods in order to increase acceptance.

What we see as a problem can be a profound gift from Life. Each time we encounter our pain, our depression, our anxiety or a reoccurring argument with a partner, we are asked to grow, dig deeper, learn new truths or skills, or new ways of perceiving our lives, ourselves, and our loved ones. When we take the time to answer the call that life has given us, we can greatly enrich, deepen, and even heal our lives and ourselves. I believe in providing a safe and sacred space where clients can begin to open to a new experience of themselves using compassion as our guide, our mentor, and our lens. As we open to our experience, the good with the bad, we find that we are more resilient that we thought; we find renewed hope or a deeper sense of meaning as we discover new strengths, insights, or gifts about ourselves and our lives.
